Ripon's new swimming pool will not open until January after a fault was found with the lining of the pool during testing.
The six-lane pool on Dallamires Lane was due to open to swimmers on December 8 but will now be delayed to an unconfirmed date in January 2022.
Harrogate Borough Council said pool manufacturer Myrtha will be carrying out additional work to fix the problem, at no extra cost to the council.
Conservative councillor Stanley Lumley, HBC's cabinet member for culture, tourism and sport, and chair of the board of directors at Brimhams Active, said:
Harrogate Borough Council closed Ripon Spa Baths last month in anticipation of the new pool opening. It now means there is nowhere to have a swim in Ripon until the new year.
